Dear Friends and Supporters,

On behalf of the board members and musicians, I am pleased to invite you to our 9th
Bel Canto Ensemble 2025 Concert, which will be held on Saturday, June 14 at 7:00
PM at Good Samaritan Episcopal Church.

This year, we are thrilled to feature many of our returning musicians, including the
renowned violinist Filip Pogady, saxophonist Todd Rewoldt, flautist Elena Yarritu,
and pianists Cho-Hyun Park and Lesi Mei. We are also excited to welcome vocalists,
Becca Ung, Ming Teng, and Howard Liu, who will join us for a selection of vocal
music. Once again, we will be showcasing Yangqin (Chinese dulcimer) performed by
Wang Weiping.

We are especially excited to present Ruslan Biyukov, cellist and principal cellist of the
Temecula Valley Symphony Orchestra. Praised by the LA Times and Virginia Opera.
As always, we will conclude the evening with a special Finale, highlighting the unique
sound of each instrument. Plus a young & multi talented traditional Chinese instrumentalist XinYu Wang for his first appearance in our concert showcasing Xiao and
Sanxian.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your continued support of the Bel
Canto Performance Foundation. Your generosity has made it possible for us to bring
high-quality, sold-out classical music concerts year after year. Please mark your
calendars for the Bel Canto 2025 concert, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you again for your unwavering support.

Sincerely,

Lucy C. Lin
